"When I go back, I will concentrate on my enjoyment. The matters in court have nothing to do with me."
"Whoever dares to disturb me will see if I don't slap him to death!"
Li Ji was stunned:
He wanted to kindly remind Su Chen of the situation in the court, but he didn't expect Su Chen's reaction.
But it’s understandable if you think about it. With Su Chen’s status, as long as he doesn’t raise a flag to rebel, he can do whatever he wants in the Tang Dynasty.
Su Chen didn't care at all about the power, status, glory and wealth that the civil and military forces of the dynasty had fought for.
His position and title were forced upon him by His Majesty.
To put it bluntly, his identity as consort was forced upon him by His Majesty.
If he wants to give up his job, His Majesty and all the officials in the court will still have to beg him.
There are many things happening in Datang that are really difficult to do without Su Chen!
Li Ji smiled: "That's what the Protector said."
"The Lord Protector has really worked hard these past two years, and it's really time to go home and rest for a while!"
"The Duke Protector's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is beyond the reach of the entire court!"
"I don't think those arrogant people would dare to disturb the Lord Protector."
Having said that, Li Ji knew in his heart: Those who don't know whether to live or die will definitely not give up.
Su Chen is young and vigorous, and it is true that he wants to go back and spend some time with his lovely wife and beautiful family.
Who dares to provoke Su Chen at this time, who knows what trouble will be caused.
Su Chen now is not the same as he was three years ago.
Although Su Chen was valued by His Majesty three years ago and respected for his great achievements,
But there is still a new one in the court.
Now Su Chen has been a local governor. In less than a year since Guanzhou came to power, Guanzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes. After a locust plague ravaged the north, Xiazhou became the pillar of the Tang Dynasty;
He led his army on an expedition of tens of thousands of miles and returned with a great victory. His achievements astonished a group of veteran generals in the Sixteenth Guards.
Mount your horse to govern the army, dismount your horse to govern the people,
Unique status, unparalleled achievements in civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty,
How could Su Chen care about a few clowns stirring up trouble?
Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but sigh secretly:
A person like Su Chen cannot be guessed based on common sense!
Those reckless people in the Ministry of War cannot let them continue to seek death and implicate themselves!
Li Ji secretly made a decision and waited for Su Chen to return to Beijing together after finishing his work.
After arranging military affairs, I took the time to handle some chores.
Su Chen, Liu Rengui, Cheng Wuting and a dozen other naval officers set out with Li Ji back to Chang'an.
Su Chen was eager to return home, and everyone else was also excited and rushed to Beijing to receive the reward.
Everyone galloped all the way to Chang'an.
Arriving in Yangzhou at the end of October, settling in the army and traveling on the road, Su Chen had already entered mid-November when he arrived in Guanzhong.
It was already the middle of winter in Chang'an with snowflakes flying.
Li Er stood quietly on the east gate of Chang'an City, looking into the distance.
Behind him, a group of civil and military ministers had different expressions and whispered to each other.
In a luxurious carriage beside the official road outside the city, four stunning beauties looked expectantly in the carriage.
"Your Majesty is waiting at the top of the city. Isn't this a very high courtesy?"
Elsa stretched her head and glanced at the head of Chang'an City from a distance, then turned to the other three women in the car and said.
Changle said proudly: "Of course, this is how Li Jing was treated when he came back after exterminating the Turks!"
Wu Meiniang curled her lips and said nothing: When Li Jing returned with his army, His Majesty went out of the city to welcome him, right?
Lotus Sun stretched out her hand to close the car window tightly: "It's not enough for you to see through the glass, and you stick your head out. Aren't you cold?"
Wu Meiniang glanced at the little girl who was held down by Sun Rong on her lap and could not help but open her teeth and claws at the car window.
"If you have to take this little girl with you, she will be curious about everything and start crying..."
Sun Rong smiled and said: "We came out to welcome the young master back to the court after a great victory. How could we miss the young master's daughter?"
After finishing speaking, he quickly coaxed his daughter: "Be good, don't make trouble, I'll see daddy soon!"
"Daddy will give you a nice name when he comes back, so you won't have to call you a little girl anymore."
Several beauties were waiting for Su Chen's return in the carriage.
Elsa looked out the car window: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, why hasn't the commander arrived yet?"
Changle also frowned and looked outside the car. When he came out, there were only scattered snowflakes falling, but now they are getting denser and denser. The ground in the distance has begun to turn white.
"Your Highness, a team of people is coming from the east. The young master is back!"
The maid outside the car looked into the distance and said.
"Ah! It's finally here!"
Elsa was the first to jump out of the carriage, and everyone else followed suit and stood on the roadside looking eastward.
The formation of the team was neat, the movements were consistent, and a team of majestic cavalry quickly rushed towards the east gate of Chang'an.
The leader, Su Chen, who was wearing bright silver armor, a red cape, long riding boots, and a sweaty horse on his crotch, was particularly majestic.
Just after crossing Baqiao, Su Chen received news that Li Er was waiting at the city gate to greet him.
Su Chen chuckled and said to the naval officers and personal guards who were returning to Beijing together: "My sons! Let your Majesty and the civil and military personnel of the DPRK see the heroic appearance of my naval officers!"
All the soldiers were refreshed, immediately straightened their appearance, organized themselves into formation, and galloped towards Chang'an City in a combat-ready manner.
Uniform, imposing, and murderous,
The team of less than a hundred people gave people a sense of oppression as if they were preceded by thousands of troops!
Most of the welcoming crowds lined the streets outside the city were knowledgeable people, and they all sighed in their hearts:
No wonder His Majesty attaches so much importance to it, this momentum is no weaker than His Majesty's Black Armor Army!
The team passed by Changle’s bicycle frame:
"Brother Su Chen is so majestic!"
"Young Master is so impressive!"
"Commander..."
Li Er stood at the top of the city: "Well, the military looks good!"
"Ride directly to Zhuque Gate!"
Li Junxian immediately shouted to the people in the city: "Your Majesty has a decree: Navy officers and soldiers will not be required to dismount from their horses to meet their charioteers!"
"Chartered naval officers to ride through the Suzaku Gate!"
Su Chen and the navy officers who had arrived in front of the city gate moved in unison, raised their hands and thanked each other in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Er laughed, got off the city wall and got on his horse.
Then, he and Su Chen, who had already entered the city, walked side by side with the naval officers towards Zhuque Street.
Seeing Li Er treat the navy officers with such courtesy, all the civil and military officials felt mixed feelings in their hearts.
Behind the naval officer is the carriage of Prince Li Chengqian.
The cavalry on both sides cleared the way, flags were flying, and Li Ji led his guards on horseback to guard the carriage. The scene was no less impressive than the naval officers in front.
The civil and military ministers descended from the city wall, followed Li Chengqian's carriage, and walked towards Tai Chi Palace.
Li Er and Su Chen rode together, followed closely by the navy officers, followed by the prince's carriage, civil and military ministers,
The team entered the city from Chunjing Gate, went all the way west to the Zhuque Gate, then entered the Zhuque Gate to the north, passed through the Imperial City, and arrived in front of the Chengtian Gate.
This road passed through the most prosperous urban area of Chang'an, passed through the office areas of three provinces and six ministries, and arrived in front of the Tai Chi Palace. Su Chen and the navy officers gained a lot of attention and face.
